The Commissioner of Agriculture
at Washington las for several years
past been engaged In an effort to
produce sugar from sorghum cane.
This year he has met with extraordi-
nary success, and has succeeded in
making q good article Of sugar from
the cane. In one instance down in
Texas HOO pounds Of sugar were
made from one adte Of cane. As the
United States imports 500, 1000, 900
of sugar annually from foreign sugar
producing countries, the success Of
the Commissioner will prove bless
ing to all friends Of American indus
try, and thus keep at home the mon
ey sent to foreign countries. In the
States north Of Texas the quality Of
the soil is not SO good for producing
cane, and the quantity Of sugar to
the acre will necessarily be decreased,
but O sufficient amount can be pro-
duced to make its production very
profitable.

Time Table for Cooking.

Onions, medium size, one hour.
Green corn, twenty to twenty five
minutes.
Peas and asparagus, twenty te
twenty-five minutes.
Potatoes, half an hour, unless small
when rather less.
Cabbage and cauliAower, twenty
five minutes TO half an hour.
Carrots and turnips, forty-fivt
minutes when young; one hour ir
winter.
Lima beans, if very young, half Of
hour; old, forty to forty-tive minutes
Beets, one hour in summer; on'
hour and a half, or even two hours
if large, in winter.
String beans, if slit or sliced slant
wise and thin, twenty-five minutes
if only snapped across, forty minutes
Rule.-AIl vegetables to 60 int
fast boiling water, to be quickly
brought to the boiling point again
not left to steep in the hot water be
fore boiling, which toughens then
and destroys color and flavor.
This time table must always b.
regulated by the hour at which th'
meat will be done, says Good House
keeping. If the meat should have tt
wait five minutes for the vegetables
there will be loss of punctuality
but the dinner will not be damaged
but if the vegetables are done, ant
wait for the meat, your dinner vii
certainly be much the worse. Yet 81
general is the custom of overlooking
vegetables, or putting them to cool
in hap hazard way somewhere abou
the time, that many people do no
recognize the damage. They woult
very quickly see the superiority o
vegetables just cooked the righ
time, but would attribute it to som
superiority of the article itself-tha
they are fresher and finer, not know
ing that the finest and freshest, i'm
properly cooked, are little better thai
the poor ones.-Daughters Of Amer

work will bring anything worth hav-

fewer young men looking for some
kind of work where they could keep
their hands clean and in doing which

looking for such jobs, and more who

The Drought Ended.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, September 19.--
The Courier-J Journal says, editorially,
this morning: The rains of the last
two days put an end to the most pro-
tracted- and destructive drought
probably that ever has been known
in the Ohio valley. There is no
memory on record which report its
equal in these respects, and in one Of
them the destructiveness could hardly
have been equaled, far beyond the
memory Of the living. It may be es-
timated that the corn yield has been
reduced so per cent; grass and hay,
go per cent; tobacco, 10 per cent;
potatoes, 60 per cent.

TO ADVERTISERS
The Free Press Recognized by Geo. r
ROwell & Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.


The well known advertising agency of
Geo. T. .Rowell Il Co. of New York City, have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
as to the matter Of newspaper circulation.
In tho regular issues Of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently. however, they have issued con-
densed list. 1t gives only tho best newspa-
pers I'd advertising mediums, and hence is
practically better, because more convenient,
than their larger Directory. Four-ffths of
the newspapers of the United States are
practically "counted out" by intelligent ad'
vertisers, who only want to know the best.
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface well say:
1T sifts the wheat from the chaff. 1t d.
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion OF that pa
tronape which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene,
fit which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely soy that on this plan,
the FREE PBEss is given by this book lsee
page 1881 as tho advertising medium OF San
Marcos aud Hays county, it being Me only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers both at home and
abroad, to this fact.

I know II 10 a rising and not . set
ting SUM-" We stand on the spot TO-
day where that rising sun emerged
from political light and darkness, and
in its own bright meridian light We
mark its glorious way. Clouds have
sometimes obscured its rays and
dreadful storms have made us fear;
but God has held IL in its course, and
through it's life-giving warmth has
performed his latest miracle In the
creation Of this wondrous land and
people
As we look down the past century
to the origin Of the Constitution, a.
we contemplate its trials and its tri-
umphs, as we realize how completely
the principles upon which it is based
have met every national need, how
devoutly should we confess with
Franklin: "God governs in the az
fairs Of men" and how solemn should
be the reflection that to our hands is
committed this ark Of the peoples
covenant, and that ours is the duty
to shield 1t from impious hands. We
receive it sealed with the tests OF q
century. II has been found sufficient
in tho past, and in oil the future
years it will be found sufficient II the
American people arc true TO their
sacred trust.
Another Centennial Day will come,
and millions yet unborn will inquire
concerning our stewardship and the
safety Of their Constitution. God
grant that they may find it unim-
paired; and as we rejoice in the pa
triotism and devotion Of those who
lived o hundred years ago, 80 may
others who follow us rejoice in our
fidelity and in our jealous love for
constitutional liberty.

AS an illustration of the effect the
liquor majority has abroad we repro
duce the following from the Chicago
Inter-O Ocean:
Texas may vote for whisky by 100,
600 majority, but it will not bring
peace into Texas homes. Texas may
not like "to 60 dry" but wetting
down with whisky by such q major
ity will keep thousands of the best
class of people from making the state
their home. Men and women who
raise families prefer school houses to
saloons.

A WOman's Word.

Oh ever when the happy laugh is dumb,
All the Joy gone, and oil the anguish come
When strong adversely and subtle pain
Wiring the sad soul and rack the throbbing
brain
When friends once faithful, hearts once all
our own,
Leave us to weep; to bleed and die alone
When fears and cares the lonely thought
employ,
And clouds of sorrow hide the sun of joy
When weary life, breathing reluctant
breath
Hath no hope sweeter than the hope Of
death;
Then the best counsel and the last relief,
To cheer the spirit or to cheat the grief,
The only calm, the only comfort heard,
Comes in tho music of woman's word
Like beacon bell on some wild island shore
Silvery ringing in the tempest's roar,
Whose sound, borne shipward through the
midnight gloom,
Tells of the path and turns her from he,
doom. EDWIN ARNOLD.

DIsliked to Discuss Family Affairs.

Guilty last Tuesday night is lie such
as nobody but a dirty coyote would
be guilty of. We have heard Of him
and his gassing at Dan Geeghen'f

red-beaded slouch to stop keeping
company with our daughter. When
we returned home Tuesday night
about IL o'clock we found him Just
leaving our frontporch. There were
words, and we admit that We called
him a greasy tramp. When he made
a pass for us we grabbed him by the
whiskers, and when he broke away
we kicked him in the small Of the
back, and the only regret now is that
we did not break his backbone. The
lie that be tells is that we drew Q
gun, which be snatcbed and then ran
as into the house. Nobody saw the
fracas, aud Of course he can lie, but

Could Not Have Been Established.

Senator Pugh, o distinguished
Southern politician Of Confederate
times, has recently boon interviewed.
Being asked if tho Confederates had
gained tho fight whether in his opin-
ion the Confederacy could have been
made permanent, he answered as
follows:
"No, l think not The feeling
among the people Of the south was
such that would not have consented
to o permanent separation. They
would have come together on some
terms within year, and the old ma
ton would have gone on. The poll.
ticians could not have kept the two
sections apart. Besides the Confed
crate government was contrary tc
human civilization. IT was contrary
to the advanced public opinion of the
world at the time. In my mind i,
was bound 10 go under. We wanted
to force slavery into territory where
nature had never intended it should
go, and we based our struggle upon
the ground its extension. We hat
been agitating the subject for gen
Grafton, and we had come to believe
so firmly that we were right and tina
nothing but war could have changed
us. ] believe now that the fight wat
inevitable, and I do not think tina
slavery could have been abolished il
any other way. The war was a crue
one, but it is better now that it has
occurred, and I think that the south
and the north could never have beer
permanently united in any other way
Any compromise we might have made
would have been only temporary and
would have created a running sore
within the two sections. It had to
be a fight to death and to exhaustion
No other way would have settled it..
